Third person point of view focuses on a character or characters, using pronouns like "he," "she," "it," and "they." First person uses "I," "me," and "we." Second person uses "you."
Here's what you should avoid in third person writing:
* Switching to first person: Using "I" or "we" in the middle of a third person narrative breaks the established point of view.
* Using "you" in a general sense: "You" should only be used when directly addressing the reader.
Example of incorrect usage:
Incorrect: "The princess looked at the mirror and thought, "I look beautiful today."
Correct: "The princess looked at the mirror and thought, "She looks beautiful today."
Remember: The goal is to maintain a consistent perspective throughout the story.
